  • 13 Sep 2025
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

Come along and wee why Pevsner described Harris Manchester College as 'a pure joy', the glorious pre-Raphaelite stained glass in the Chapel, the beautiful library, and small but perfectly formed gardens.

Our Chapel, with its pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris has been fully renovated - do come along and see the windows in all their glory! The D-Day Landings were planned in the College, and the dining hall (Arlosh Hall) was the centre of operations for the planning of Operation Overlord as well as other WWII operations. There will be a display of photographs and other materials. Also open will be the Tate Library (with its glorious stained glass) and our small but perfectly formed gardens. All are welcome!
